Final

To create my design, I used multiple shapes. I used the ellipse tool to create the body of the snowmen, the buttons, eyes, and nose. I used the rectangle tool to create the hat of the smaller snowman. I also used different gradients. I used a radial gradient to create the noses of the snowmen. I also used a radial gradient to create the sky in the background. To remove the background of the wreath, I used the pen tool to trace the wreath and then created a clipping mask. To create the pattern of the snowflakes, I used the tutorial from this website: http://www.vectordiary.com/illustrator/snowflakes-tutorial/. I created multiple different snow flakes with different opacity levels to create the effect of depth within the design. I used multiple different typography skills to create the lettering of the words. Lastly, to create the snow at the bottom of my design, I used the pen tool and added a white color fill.
